Let's Get Political!

[Exiled Bob]

Johnson's latest fuck up in particular, and the "defence" of it by the equally ludicrous disgraced Fox, demonstrates why he should never have been anywhere near the Foreign Office even as a junior minister, much less Foreign Secretary.

He's a cunt of the highest order. I saw on the BBC news site earlier the headline "Boris Johnson sorry if Zaghari-Ratcliffe remarks 'caused anxiety'". It turns out he wasnt apologising though, or admitting he made a mistake. He told MPs he was "sorry if his words were so taken out of context as "to cause any kind of anxiety". Wanker.

Priti Patel's holiday transcript just in:

“If you kids don’t shut up, I’ll turn this car around and there’ll be no Benjamin Netanyahu for anyone.”

 

[Outletred]

Anyone would think the labour party are squeaky clean ffs

Not one of their front bench has ever had a job in the private sector- they're stinking rich and sent their kids to private school (Corbyn and Abbott)

Hypocrites of the highest order

[REDBUCK]

So what was the innocent lady doing in Iranl

None of which makes Boris Johson in any way suitable to hold any office of any kind, much less one of the top 3 jobs. Completely irrelevant whataboutery .

Whats that coming over the hill is it a dead cat, is it a dead cat.....

Its coming to some manner of desperation when the Tories ardent supporters only response is that they are shit but the other side might be also.

[brocklesby red]

I think Carl Seargeant taking his own life shows Labour aren't claiming to be squeaky clean.

So lets just summarise the last couple of days, from a quick review of the BBC Website...

First Secretary of State appears before the Cabinet Office regarding stories of porn on his office computer... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41893746 oh plus allegations of inappropriate advances towards a female Conservative activist.

Foreign Secretary talks some bollocks in Parliament that leads to a British Citizen potentially spending another 5 years inside in Iran, but apparently its only a gaffe. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41902883 I cannot remember who said it, but a gaffe is saying fuck in front of your kids, not condemning someone who you are supposed to be protecting to prison.

DexEU Minister been telling us via the commons for months about these detailed impact studies the government have prepared showing the impacts of Brexit, yet when pressed now suggests that they do not actually exist. Leading to action from the Speaker and suggestions that the government are in contempt of Parliament - just remember folks it was all apparently about sovereignty?

Priti Patel is now flying back from Africa to explain to the PM why she has been caught lying again about her activities in Israel, as it transpires that she had further meetings in September that she didn't tell the PM about last week, it also appears that she wanted to channel aid money to the Israeli Army in relation to works in the West Bank, the occupation of which is contrary to a UN resolution.

If this was an African republic we would be laughing at it.....

And I agree with you, but it's the whole "holier than thou" rhetoric from Labour and their supporters that grates with me, when in reality they're all pretty much as bad as one another.

On the "knee deep in sleaze" yes they are. But the sheer political bankruptcy of May's lame duck government since her vanity election blew up in her face is causing the nation and it's citizens real harm. She's been forced to cobble together a coalition of staggering incompetents and buffoons who are holding her hostage and appear to be largely unsackable unless they go the full Priti Patel. In any normal government the likes of Johnson, Davis, Fox and Leadsom wouldn't get a look in. They're making Amber Rudd look like a serious leadership contender FFS. If May had an ounce of integrity she'd throw in the towel and spare the country this coalition of fuckwits. But she can't afford to for the sake of her own career (which is fucked anyway) so at a time when the nation needs proper leadership more than perhaps at any time in the last 50 years, she'd rather allow us all to be held hostage by the coalition of incompetent fuckwits she calls a cabinet.

And do you really believe that Labour would have all the magic answers?
Do you think that a return to the dark days of the 70's would be so much better than what we have now, because that's where we are headed if Corbyn and his cronies gain power.
I'm old enough to remember those times and I honestly thought that I'd never see them again in my lifetime, but there is a real danger that's what we'll end up with.

I am a traditional Tory voter and even I would say that I'm not happy with the current incumbents and agree that we need strong leadership but I don't see that coming from anywhere else. All I see is someone else desperate for power and promising the Earth to get it....

[jayohaitchenn]

So what was the innocent lady doing in Iranl

She has dual nationality you fucking dickhead

[Arriba]

How would Corbyn take us back to the 1970's ?
I read this alot. On what basis is that conclusion reached?
I prefer to deal the here and now. Look at the total shambles we are in. It's beyond a joke. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for Theresa May. That's saying something considering she's a vile Tory.
